    can iguanas hear?
    spice makes me wonder how much she can hear sometimes, if I have my radio up loud sometimes she just sleeps through it other times she will move around more do some head shakin and lick the air alot...i dident know if they actually hear or if its just the viberations...but I listen to rock and some is good hair band music with some good bass, just had me curious tonight because she was almost dancin on my bed she was movin around so much

    thanks for the info

    Hearing is pretty limited for most reptiles, however, I have heard multiple times that iguanas have pretty good hearing.

    So yes, they can hear to some extent.

    To hear low end frequencies sounds(500 hz and lower) you don't really need to hear it. You feel it more than anything. I knew a def kid who would ride around on his bike with headphones on. Only because he felt the bass of the music. Play a song with mainly mid range frequencies (Vocal, guitar), no bass and see if you notice a difference. Then play something bass loaded.

    When she ignores your music, it's because she wishes you would play her some country like her mother likes :D

    I just grabbed Gizmo and whispered sweet nothings into his ear and he smiled.

    Most lizards can hear, they have ear canals and tympanic membranes.
